Cardiff Half Marathon 2026

The Cardiff Half Marathon will be an action-packed weekend of running.

It is Wales’ largest mass-participation and multi-charity fundraising event and the second largest half in the UK. Its flat, fast course passes all the city’s most breath-taking scenery and iconic landmarks including Cardiff Castle, the Principality Stadium, Civic Centre and stunning Cardiff Bay. Thousands of spectators turn out to cheer on the runners in a city renowned for its sporting passion.

Cardiff is a part of the SuperHalfs which includes races in Lisbon, Prague, Berlin, Copenhagen and Valencia. Finishing the race will earn you a stamp in your SuperPassport and count towards completing the series.

General entries sell out every year within months of going on sale, but you can secure your place and enter as a runner for Foothold.

Do it for a challenge, to fundraise for charity, and for fun. This one is not to be missed!
